Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB) 4-Star Rating
Waterloo was the original name for the city of Austin, the state’s capital and seat of Travis County. Austin is considered the fastest growing large city in the United States and was named the #1 place to live in the U.S. for 2017 and 2018. The Waterloo Neighborhood Park will serve as “the civic heart of the city” providing play spaces, parkland, trails, promenades, and the Moody Amphitheater for Austin’s diverse population and visitors.
